NEW Ulster Unionist Party leader Mike Nesbitt has been accused of “patronising” the working class with his plan to spend a day with the poor. Gerry Carroll, who stood in West Belfast for People Before Profit in last year’s Assembly election, hit out at Mr Nesbitt for the suggestion, made after he won the leadership election on Sunday. Mr Nesbitt said it was important to connect with ordinary people who feel the work done by Stormont is not relevant to them.
